Take 20

When performing an action that is dependent on a skill check, a player may opt to automatically roll a 20 given they meet the right criteria.

• They are in no immediate peril
• They are calm and clear of mind
• They have enough time to perform the action equal to failing it 20 times (usually about 2 minutes)
• There is no consequence for failing the action

Examples

• Translating an ancient text in a library (History)
• Slowly pushing a crate across a room (Athletics)
• Practicing lock picking on ones own lock (Sleight of Hand)
